I decided to take a mini-holiday on Sunday and pack up the hubs and the dog and enjoy a relaxing beach day. Unfortunately I also missed my Sea Creature Sunday post – but I’ll make it up to you, I promise! I love going to the beach here on the Gulf side of FL.
Gorgeous white sand, gentle lapping waves, blue skies that go on forever, and endless sunshine
The cooler full of goodies and an escapist novel don’t hurt either!
I also almost ended up with a new puppy – this guy kept sneaking away from his Dad and into our shade. So adorable! My puppy was more than a little jealous.
The water is still a little chilly for my Southern sensibilities (meaning colder than 25C – I’m a wuss!), so we enjoyed walking along the beach instead. Rather than collecting seashells, I collected seashell pictures 🙂
We tried to coax Merlin into the water – but he apparently didn’t want to muss his fur
After a lovely stroll I decided to once more try and incorporate photosynthesis into my nutritional routine. One day I really will be solar powered!
We stayed until Merlin was passed out on the sand and the sun faded into the horizon (of which I didn’t get a picture due to dead battery!)
It was a truly enjoyable day where I let go of all the stress of the week…..
Then I came home to find my computer keyboard partially non-functional. I have to say I wasn’t aware of how attached I am to that computer until I finally had to let the technician take it away! Hopefully I will have it back (using a borrowed one now) before next Wednesday. Then I will be leaving for a two week cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. I am looking forward to sharing the experience with you all!
